Which is also what some of us have done -- through the religions we grew up in and those we learned about later in life, through questioning our parents, our pastors, our friends, our professors and a whole heap o' books -- but come to the conclusion that, quelle surprise, many folks are tired of livin' but scared o' dyin'.
